Linda Ballez entered into God’s glory on July 29th, 2023. She was surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Linda was born in Denver, Colorado on November 20th, 1950 to Rudolph Rios and Consuelo Rios. Her fierce love and passion was wrapped up into one soul element, and that was her family. Without a shadow of a doubt her life’s happiness was seeing her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren make the most of life. She lived her life not only as the matriarch of her family but as a mighty woman of God. As God dwelled inside of her, she showed her family what it is like to live by faith and strength.
Proverbs 31:25, declares, “Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.”
Linda is survived by her sisters, Geneveve Aranda and Connie Chavez, and children, Tracey (Carlos) Sailas, Michael (Natalie) Ballez, Reygina (Mario) Hernandez, Rudolph Ballez, Dante Ballez, and Ambrose Chavez; also by her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Preceding her in death is her husband Michael Ballez, and her brothers and sisters, Manuel Rios, Marylou Omura, Luanna Rios, Frankie Rios, Sandra Rios. Her love, strength, faith and happiness will forever live on in us for generations to come.
